Hmm, that's odd.  My hunch is that the server is throwing an error.  Could
you check the logs?  I think that by default PHP logs its errors in
/var/log/syslog.

One thing that might be going wrong is permissions.  The user running your
web server (typically apache or www-data) needs to have write permissions
to the following subdirectories: backup, log, public/rss, and
public/upload.  CDash typically lets you know when these permissions are
lacking, but I figured I'd mention it here anyway.

Another thing that might be worth trying is installing CDash in an empty
database.  If you create a new postgres database and point CDash at it (via
config.local.php), the install script will handle creating all the tables &
such for you.  Of course, this solution might not be viable for you if
there is information in your old CDash database that you'd like to keep.
